Water Heater Safety Tips
Performing water heater maintenance requires following safety precautions that not everyone knows about. That’s one reason to hire a professional. Before starting, they will turn off the power or gas supply and then drain the tank. While working on your water heater, the technician will wear safety gloves, goggles, and other protective equipment. In addition, they can help educate you on the importance of safely using and maintaining the system. For example, they may explain and demonstrate the following:
- Setting the Temperature: Understanding how to adjust the temperature is crucial. The unit should be set to approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures may facilitate bacterial growth, while excessively high temperatures can lead to scalding and burns.
- Check for Gas Leaks: Indicators of a gas leak include hissing noises, the odor of rotten eggs, damage to pipes, wilted houseplants, and physical reactions such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, difficulty breathing, and symptoms resembling the flu.
Taking on DIY repairs can be hazardous and may lead to damage to the unit, which could result in expensive repairs and potentially void the warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Schedule Water Heater Maintenance?
We recommend scheduling professional water heater maintenance once a year. Otherwise, sediment can build up in the tank and the unit can become unsafe to use.
How Long Can a Water Heater Last?
A well-maintained tank-style water heater can last 10 to 15 years. If you have a tankless water heater and maintain it as recommended, it can last 20 years.
Can I Do a Water Heater Tank Flush Myself?
Only if you’re familiar with how your water heater works. A plumber can quickly flush a water heater while following the manufacturer’s recommendations and safety precautions.
